Beck appreciation thread

He is insanely gifted. Odelay through Modern Guilt is about as solid as it gets for me. Odelay probably gets the most notoriety but The Information is the one I keep coming back to. Sea Change is arguably his best album but I have to be in the right from of mind because it's so dark. I admit I'm not as up to speed on his last 3 albums.

I think the guy in the gif is Martin Molin, a Swedish musician from the band Wintergatan. He does look a lot like Beck though.

Beck is good. I like Beck.

Morning Phase is one of my all time favorite albums from any band. It's so beautiful and I still listen to it often. If I need to get centered and feel at peace, this is the album I'm putting on

Becks career arc is insane.

Only time i saw him live was on the Americana tour in 2013 with wilco and bob dylan. he was doing mostly songs off of song reader, so it was super mellow and chill. He did loser with wilco which was fun.

Id like to see him live again.

Midnight Vultures is my favorite album of his.

I've been lucky enough to see him live twice.

First time was at the Saenger, which was an awesome concert.

Years later he opened for U2. I bought tickets for me and the wife just so we could see Beck again.

Just that song or the Sea Change album?

That album came out my last semester in college and it really hit home at the time. I was literally about to go through a sea change going out into the real world. Constantly in class, studying or working and not spending as much time with friends as I wanted as my college life drew to and end. Probably a little depressed too.

Possibly a top 10 album for me just based on the intense memories it brings back.

It definitely caught everyone by surprise after Midnight Vultures.

The song.
